Earth Electric took over my abandoned solar and Powerwall project and did a great job getting everything completed. Communication was clear, the team was professional and on time, and they made the whole process much smoother than I expected. I'm very happy with the result and would recommend them. read more

Earth Electric did an outstanding job 10 years ago to install my solar panels. I picked them after evaluating a large number of other national and local vendors. I just had Earth Electric come back to install backup batteries. They expertly navigated the San Jose permitting nightmare and got it squared away on time and very efficiently. Great people and great service! read more

My solar panels and battery pack were installed professionally and on time. I went with the Enphase brand. The front office staff were helpful and knowledgeable. I fully recommend Earth Electric read more

Earth Electric - Solar Installation Near Me

I reached out to Earth Electric expecting a smooth and professional experience, but I was left disappointed. From the start, they seemed uninterested in earning my business -- communication was minimal, and their attitude felt indifferent, as if they were overloaded and didn't need new customers. On top of that, they requested an excessive amount of documentation over email, far more than any other solar installer I contacted. It felt more like I was doing their homework than being helped through the process. I wanted to support a local company, but it didn't feel like they were willing to put in the effort to support customers. I get the impression that their positive Yelp reviews brought in plenty of business, which may be why Sheryl felt she can treat customers poorly without any concern Edit - In response to Sheryl's reply: I can confidently say that not only was the customer service poor, but Sheryl's response is also dishonest. Her reply contains a complete falsehood, and she chose to respond in an unprofessional manner--focusing on me personally rather than addressing the actual issue. After reviewing my past communications with solar providers, I found that I did reach out to Earth Electric back in 2021 with two emails: the first requesting a quote, and the second providing all the information Sheryl asked for. While she stated she would provide a quote, none was ever sent. Instead, she shared a consumer guide--ironically intended to "help you stay protected from bad and low-quality contractors, who are usually the ones offering the very low prices." The irony is hard to miss, coming from a company that failed to follow through professionally. I have to note that I rarely leave negative reviews unless a business truly deserves it. In this case, I'm glad I took the time to write this review to set the record straight, and I hope it helps others make a more informed decision. read more

EE was one of the two that provided a quote on the initial install last year that included the Span smart panel as requested, at a competitive price. On the expansion this year, they squeezed the job in before the holidays and the expiration of the Fed tax rebates. Zach, the GM, was very responsive to couple issues on the Tesla Powerwall 3, which I wasn't able to get Tesla's tech support directly, despite multiple attempts. He also reprogrammed the Span panel to accommodate the additional breakers for the new heat pump systems, which I couldn't do on the Span owner's app. The only inconvenience was the delay on both jobs, due to their long pipeline. But, EE is well organized and runs a smooth operation. read more

Excellent, well run company with responsive, skilled staff. Process was relatively seamless. Recommend them wholeheartedly.

Earth Electric was fantastic to work with for our Tesla Powerwall installation! They weren't the cheapest option (or the most expensive), but their service was absolutely incredible and worth every penny. From the very first quote through permitting and installation, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. What really impressed me was how much they cared about making sure everything was right. After installation, an error popped up on the Tesla app, and even though Tesla support said it wasn't their issue anymore, Earth Electric spent hours on hold with Tesla to get it fixed for us. That kind of dedication is rare, and it shows how much they stand behind their work. I can't recommend Earth Electric highly enough--an outstanding experience from start to finish! read more

We reached out to Sheryl after deciding we'd pick a local business for our solar + battery install. She was super prompt in responding to us and gave us a detailed breakdown of options we had. She also educated us a bunch on what to watch out for and she didn't push us hard on next steps, which was great. We did look at other quotes but all the other companies actually left out bits and pieces of important info, which Sheryl had provided us upfront while being better in terms of $ vs most of them. In the end we went with Earth Electric and, I can attest that the great experience we had with them before we signed the contract continued throughout the project till we got our interconnection approved. We highly recommend their business and thank the entire team for their great work at our home. We hope to do business with them soon. read more

We had an excellent experience with Earth Electric. From start to finish, everything went smoothly and was easier than we expected. They took care of all the complicated parts like permits and coordination and kept us updated the entire time. Sheryl and Zach were both fantastic. They were quick to respond, very knowledgeable, and made sure we got the setup that fit our home and needs. They explained things clearly, followed through on everything they promised, and were just genuinely great to work with. The installation was done on time, looks great and everything has been operating well. Highly recommend them to anyone thinking about going solar. Great team, great communication, and great results. read more

I just had a great experience with Earth Electric during my solar install a few months ago. Sheryl was very professional and explained the process in great detail. Her crew showed up on time, did a great job and were very helpful making sure I understood how the system operated. After about a month we had a single panel that wasn't producing as much as the others. It's easy to monitor the system with the app. One phone call to Sheryl was all it took. Her crew came back out to assess the problem. It was deemed to be a panel problem and the manufacturer replaced the panel at no charge. The Earth Electric installation team was a pleasure to work with. Great people, very knowledgeable and able to explain things during the process. I was quite impressed with them. I highly recommend Sheryl and Earth Electric. Good luck with your project. read more

We installed a sizable custom battery and solar system with Earth Electric (HomeGrid battery and Solark inverter). I must say that they did a great job throughout. From administration and working with the County, PG&E on approvals through execution, the project went off without a hitch. Solar projects are like "mini" construction projects where things change, need to be thought through on the spot, etc. Each time we had an unforeseen circumstance, they were able to work through it. Finally, we had other construction going on on our house (new build) and Zach and team did a great job working with other companies and trades people. Excellent company, very professional, great communication. Please note, I did consider other companies for this project but none of them provided the combination of flexibility, expertise and professionalism that Earth Electric was able to provide. The industry is riddled with rookies, so be careful. read more

It's pretty intimidating navigating the complexities of installing solar: panels, batteries, locations, and even more intimidating selecting an installer for such an expensive purchase. You get so many different answers and conflicting advice. The Earth Electric team easily stood out: knowledgable and patient (with our questions), they gave a strong impression of being proud of their work and wanting us to be happy. We selected them and they were easy to work with throughout the whole process, especially Zach who led the installation and set up. I think every installation has its teething troubles (a few minor glitches with the install and with the equipment) but Zach and the team were always there for us, took responsibility and made it right. I would say Earth Electric are the good guys in shark-infested waters! read more

I had been thinking about adding solar and batteries to my home for about 3-4 years. In that time, I had meticulously planned how I wanted the system to be built. When I started looking for contractors to help bring my day dreams to reality, I ran in to so much misinformation, disinterest, and attempts at redirection. The majority of those I spoke with wanted to push me toward different approaches that would have been easier perhaps to implement but would have left my home with unsightly conduit, unnecessary digging, and all manner of obvious shortcuts. That is until I found Earth Electric. Their 5 stars are richly deserved. Zach came out and listened with interest as I described exactly what I wanted to do and how I wanted it done, and rather than try to dissuade me, he took it all in and found a way to make it work. Like, exactly exactly how I wanted it. I must have traded something like 50 emails with Zach, Sheryl, and team. They answered each of my questions in exquisite detail, clearly putting in the research and explanations to get to yes or explain the contours of the problem in a way that made sense to me. When I think about getting professional help, this team epitomizes it. They are ***experts***. Their communication was top rate; they accommodated my schedule; incorporated my feedback; and built a system that leaves me thinking "damn, that looks good" every time I see it, ***everyday***. These systems are meant to last for decades, why not do it right from the start? You have choices when it comes to solar and storage, but if you're looking for a team at the top of their game, making YES happen, and building systems that are crafted with deliberation and care, you really don't need to look any further than Earth Electric. You will not regret it; I am certainly thrilled! read more

We had been looking to install solar for over a year, and talked to several companies about the process, equipment, and options for our house. We only have a 100-amp main panel, but Earth Electric was able to work with what we had without us needing to upgrade our grid service. The entire process, from talking to Sheryl (the CEO and our main contact) about what we wanted, to site inspection, permitting, installation, inspection, and interconnect with PG&E all went smoothly. We live in Sunnyvale, which has strict permitting, but the plans and work done by Earth Electric passed city inspection with flying colors. It took about 6 months from the time we contacted Earth Electric until everything was done, which is the timeline we expected based on our many conversations with solar companies, and we were also told up front by Earth Electric. We have 12 panels and battery storage sufficient for whole-house backup. I have been researching solar equipment for a year, and the REC panels, and Enphase micro-inverters, batteries, and system controller are all excellent equipment. Despite this, the price we paid was around the middle among the several bids we received for our project. We've had our system for about a month, and it's been performing even better than I expected. We're extremely pleased with the high quality of service we experienced with Earth Electric. If you're thinking about solar, this is absolutely the company you want to work with. I cannot recommend them enough. read more

We hired Earth Electric to install a Solar System with panels on our roof in 2023. It has worked so perfectly that I kept forgetting to write a review to say how happy we have been with them. From first inquiries to the finished product, communication was prompt and clear and helpful. All employees were professional and respectful, and I trusted their expertise. They took care of all the necessary permits and communications with PG&E and the city. An app on our phones lets us monitor the Enphase batteries and track the power going in or out at at any moment. We have had zero problems. We generate more power than we use. It was a great investment! read more

Installing solar is a huge project, and working with Earth Electric has been as smooth of a process as it could have been. From the very beginning, Sheryl explained every aspect of the process and even guided us to other reputable providers we could consider. When we finally went with Earth Electric, we were glad we did. Every member of the crew has been professional and great to deal with. Follow up support has been great too. Highly recommend working with this outstanding team. read more

We recently completed our solar panel project with Earth Electric and I have nothing but praise for this company and their in-house crew (they do not subcontract), led by Sheryl and Zach. I started my solar project in Jan 2023 (almost 18 months ago). The house we bought has a metal tile roof, so most of the common installers like Sunrun, Tesla, Sunpower etc. declined to install panels on this kind of roof. I started reaching out to local installers instead, and Earth Electric caught my eye thanks to their stellar reviews. I had done a fair bit of online research about solar before I started, so I had plenty of questions in the very first call I had with Sheryl. She patiently answered all of them and walked me through the whole process, including how to get into NEM2 before the deadline. It felt like a frank discussion with someone really knowledgeable about their field rather than a sales pitch. Zach came by few days later for a site visit and of all the other installers I met, he was the only one who took the effort to get on the roof to make sure it was ready to install panels. Earth Electric's quote wasn't the lowest I had, but that kind of due diligence and honest dialogue was what ultimately convinced me to go ahead. Then came the hardest part - dealing with PG&E. My main service panel was old and needed upgrading to a solar ready panel, which was also included in my contract. Earth Electric got the NEM2 application approved and accepted well before the deadline and submitted the panel upgrade request. PG&E came back saying they needed to upgrade the transformer in my neighborhood before I could connect my solar to the grid. After that came a long wait of over a year while PG&E went through their process of engineering designs, city permits, finding contractors etc. Through it all, Sheryl kept personally following up with PG&E helping to keep the project moving. After PG&E was done in June 2024, the actual installation went smoothly even though it was going to be a somewhat complex project. The new electrical panel was to go onto a wall adjacent to the old panel so it needed all the old wiring to be connected through to it. The main PG&E power lines had to be moved to a new masthead on the roof, which needed co-ordination with PG&E for the wire swing. The solar panels were up within a couple of days while the main panel upgrade was ongoing. The crew was thoroughly professional and were done within a couple of weeks. They did an excellent job including all the stucco work in place of the old panel. City inspection passed without any problems, and we received the PTO from PG&E within a day of final inspection. From the day I signed the contract 18 months ago, Sheryl stayed in regular contact with me, and I don't think I could have gotten better service and more personalized attention anywhere else. This is a company that truly cares about their customers. If you are considering solar, I would wholeheartedly recommend them. read more

We had a great experience with Earth Electric. Sheryl, the CEO, listened carefully to what we wanted, and offered thoughtful and experienced advice. Earth's bid was competitive with others. Everyone we worked with there had a great attitude and did high quality work. The completed system installation looks very clean and is working flawlessly. Inspection with the City of Cupertino went very well with the inspector looking happy. We're very glad we chose Earth Electric. read more

We moved! And our new home didn't have solar, so it was back to square-one... Without hesitation, we reached out to Sheryl at Earth Electric for a new system, this time with 29 panels. Just as before, the install went smoothly and everything looks and performs amazing upon completion. The crew has been professional and courteous throughout the process, from initial site inspection, running cable, panel install, and final wiring. Special mention to Karla who was hounding the city when they were slowing the project with their delay in approving the plans. I (still) couldn't ask for a better company to work with. Another big thanks to Sheryl and her team. read more

I chose Earth Electric because my neighbor had used them. I'm very pleased with the job they did. We had a little issue associated with an integrated charger, but they dealt with it promptly and replaced the cable. One thing I would have liked (so mentioning here for others) would have been to add an adjustment to the mounting so that I could change the angle in the winter to collect more sun. That might be more pain than gain, but is something I thought about after the project. I traded off a low profile with visibility from street. On the very positive side, it is nice not paying for electricity to PG&E. Team was professional and prompt. read more

Recently, I had a couple panels go out per my monitoring app. I hadn't contacted Sheryl and her team since my initial installation, but she was just as responsive and sent a tech out to investigate. A couple of the power inverters died "of natural causes" and the tech RMA'd them and replaced them on the spot. I was back in business after a few hours. I recommend Earth Electric to everyone. To me, Sheryl and her team are the best. Problems will arise with any company but the best companies own it and fix it! Earth Electric does exactly that. read more

We have a great experience with our solar panel installation project by Earth Electric. We got price quotes from 3 different companies. Earth Electric was not the lowest bid but they came through as the most competent. We really liked their approach with educating and helping their customers make the best decision, even if it wasn't with their company. Sheryl asked good questions, used actual data from PG&E to get an accurate picture of our usage for the last 3 years and talked to us about our future use so we can plan correctly. The actual installation went very smoothly, their small crew was great and had good communication skills. Our project actually came up ahead of schedule and we were out of the town. We had a trusted friend open the side gate for them and everything was fine. They were great with the paperwork aspect as well - permit and final inspection with the City, connected with PG&E within 2 weeks, just as they explained and gave us detailed instructions on how to monitor and take care of the panels in the future. Highly recommend Earth Electric, they are local, very knowledgeable and great to work with. read more

I'm so glad that I chose Earth Electric to install solar panels and battery storage for our house. Before the job, the electrician Zach came to evaluate the best location for the panel and layout. He spent one hour and did thorough job. He also answered my questions and showed me the past jobs. You can clearly see he is passionate about the job they do. After that, they took care of permit, paperwork with PG&E etc. Karla worked out a schedule that meets my request. Jake led the crew finish the job smoothly. They came on time and cleaned up every day before they left. The inspection was done shortly after they finished job. All I need is to enjoy the savings. They also installed shade above the storage battery with no charge. Last as their CEO Sheryl said "we are done, but not gone ". I know I can count on them when needed. read more

I started the solar installation inquiry on 10/1/2021. Selected to go with Earth Electric, and the final PG&G approval was done by 4/14/2021. The actual installation happened in 3rd week of March 2021. System is working perfectly and hopefully I will not need to anything else other than annual cleaning. Overall, I had an excellent experience working with Sheryl and her team. - Sheryl and team are knowledgeable and take time to answer all your questions on tech, processes, pros and cons, etc. One should rate this as the most important criteria, given that you are likely going to own your solar install for 20+ years. - Earth Electric pricing was most competitive. I had another provider who were quite good in answering my questions, but Earth Electric first quote was $2K lower than the best price of next best provider. - End-to-end installation does not happen so fast. You should plan 3-6 months. Sheryl was kind to accommodate us considering a special needs requirement. Overall it took 3 months from my first email to PG&E final approval. - Very professional and well-behaved installation team led by Zach. This was another great experience. Zach took care to explain to me about the process, they stuck to the schedule, and tidy overall. read more

If you value professonalism, performance, communication and integrity, then Earth Electric should be at the top of your list of companies to consider and partner with.

I contacted Sheryl based on the yelp reviews last year, it was the time when everyone was rushing to get to sign the contract before the NEM2 deadline. There were many solar installers i got quote from, but a phone call from Sheryl sealed the deal, very informative and gave me full confidence that this will be high quality experience and also will get me in NEM2. As expected, signing the contract and meeting the deadline all went smooth. My install also required main panel upgrade and with Sheryl's reference had that replaced as well. The install took some time, given there were so many others like me rushed at the last minute to meet NEM2. The installation went really smooth, Sheryl and team took care of the inspection, PGE approval. Overall amazing experience will highly recommend, Sheryl and team for your solar installation. read more

We evaluated over 20 solar installation companies from phone calls, Yelp reviews, and word-of-mouth. We invited 3 for an on-site visit and chose Earth Electric. This has been our experience: BEFORE INSTALLATION Sheryl Lane, the co-owner, patiently answered many, many questions. And then a few more. Her first estimate was the optimal-sized system for our needs. Other companies low-balled the system size to appear less expensive. When estimates were compared for the same size systems, some of these "less expensive" systems were quite a bit more. Earth Electric bid the best component parts (lowest failure rates) with the best warranties in the industry. Earth Electric was courteous, informative, and provided clear and timely communication. No game-playing. Zach, the co-owner, came for a site visit. He was very thorough and clearly explained what had to be done for a safe installation that would pass inspection. From Zach's visit, Earth Electric drew up engineering plans, submitted an application for a permit to our city, and continued to follow the progress of the application until it was approved. Due to having completed a fair number of installations in our city, they were familiar with the process, and the time frame. When we signed the contract and gave a deposit, we were given an estimated start date. Due to early completion of projects ahead of ours, Earth Electric was able to start our job 1.5 weeks earlier than anticipated. DURING INSTALLATION The entire crew - Jake (foreman), Zack, Gustavo, Matt and Christian - were on-time, efficient, courteous, respectful of our house and pets (kept front door closed at all times), and worked exceedingly well together as a team. It took just 2 days to complete our project, with a team of 5 terrific guys. It was a pleasure to have them at our house. We enjoyed great communication with Jake and his team about the location of every element that would be visible, such as solar panels and conduits. The team went above and beyond to make sure everything looked good. Jake warned us on Day 1 that he would have to turn the electricity off for four hours on Day 2. He gave us time to charge up our devices and prepare. He gave us 2 more heads-up warnings, then turned off the electricity, but only for 2 hours. They did all they could to minimize the necessary inconvenience. Our main electric box had been stucco'ed shut when our house was built(!). The team troubleshooter Zack came up with a creative solution to bring the box up to code, and did it in an aesthetically pleasing way. Genius! The area was kept clean during the day, and was cleaned up extra tidy each night. At the end of day 2, they flipped a lever and we had solar! AFTER INSTALLATION The phone app for our solar system is intuitive and took just minutes to understand. It's fun to see how much energy we consume, and of that, how much we import and how much we produce. It's a bit of a thrill to be energy independent. Jake came out when the city permit inspector came to approve the installation. Because the engineering plans were well drawn and due to meticulous installation, we got an immediate approval. Karla sent the paperwork in immediately to PG&E, and now we are just awaiting PG&E's approval of our application, and their flipping a switch on their end so we can be compensated for the energy we export. SUMMARY This was a remarkably easy process, due largely to every member of the great team at Earth Electric, from start to finish. Earth Electric has our highest recommendation. They are an excellent company to work with. read more

Wow, just wow. I can't say enough great things about Earth Electric. My initial discussions with Sheryl really set the bar high. I knew right away I'd not have a similar experience with anyone else. Sheryl was incredibly informative, not sales-y in the least, and above all, she put my needs first. After a simple initial inspection of our house, all details and a variety of setups were made very clear to us, and pricing was very competitive. When we decided to move forward with Earth Electric, the timing of installation was detailed out to us by Sheryl, and she kept me informed with updates as PG&E did cause some delays (not a big deal). When installation began, we were quoted 4-5 days, and it took 5 days. It was pretty amazing how on schedule the whole process went. Everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) on the Earth Electric team were 100% kind, respectful of our property inside and out, and very easy to work with. We were given updates each morning before work started, throughout the day as needed, and at the end of the day. Everything just went smoothly. The final result is VERY clean looking, functioning great, and we could not be happier with how it all ended up. In terms of COVID management, all crew were masked and maintained distancing from us as much as possible, so all good there. I would (and already have) highly recommend Earth Electric for your solar needs. read more

After over 1000 days of delays working with Tesla to get a Powerwall installed, we finally had had enough and cancelled the project. We then contacted Earth -Electric to install a Franklin whole home battery system to my existing solar setup. Sheryl and her team were upfront on potential issues and concerns as my older SunPower panels were using a discontinued inverter. We came up with a workable plan and accepted their bid. What a great company to deal with! Everything was upfront and no surprises. The install team was very professional and were a pleasure to work with. They took care of everything and got the work done right, and quickly.

Our friends used EE 4 years ago and referred us. We also checked out multiple other companies. Sheryl won our project because of her honesty, patience, humor, and detailed answers to 50+ emails. The team members that came out to do the estimate were friendly, articulate, and patient again (with our questions). The prices were comparable to other bids, a bit higher now post-pandemic but we trusted this company to serve us well. The installation was smooth and efficient. They took care of all the permits, inspections, etc, and we were informed at each step. Sheryl worked hard for our sale but now EE is up and running and saving us money.

After shopping around for solar panels with various companies, we decided on going with Earth Electric mainly because of how awesome Sheryl is. She was thorough with answering any questions we had. They were also very transparent about what to expect throughout the whole process, which was very much appreciated. They worked quickly to get paperwork done so that we could get the applications set up in time with PG&E and were upfront about how long it would take for the installs to happen. When the time came for install, everything went super smoothly. The installers were easy to work with and also answered any questions that I had.

We had our very old solar panels on our house in Gilroy replaced recently and every person we dealt with at Earth Electric was excellent. We got quotes from several solar companies before deciding and Earth Electric was by far the best combination of pricing and experience. There were a surprising number of downright shady companies out there (beware!) with insanely high pricing. But mostly, we really appreciated that Earth Electric was able to answer all our questions intelligently, totally kept us up to date as they moved things through the somewhat challenging PG&E permitting and connection process and went above and beyond to make sure everything was working correctly with our Tesla power wall account. Really just a great example of how to run a business! Highly recommend! read more

I never write reviews, but I felt the need for Sheryl's team. We had solar installed in 2022, their work was great but that's not the reason why I would write a review. During the storm in 2023, our roof started to leak, and Sheryl's team became a resource for us during this time. Most importantly, they took the solar panels they installed over a year ago off, and put it back on after the new roof was put in, at NO CHARGE. This type of customer service is rare these days. **edit, the roof leak was not caused by the installation of solar read more

We came to Earth Electric after we had a problem with a previous solar installer. He took a huge deposit and never showed up to do work, then lost his contractor's license and never payed us back. We found ourselves between a rock and a hard place. We lost a big chunk of our solar budget, but if we waited to sort that out, NEM 3.0 would take effect. We were also a little afraid to get scammed by another solar installer. We found Earth Electric while looking for a company with a perfect track record with the Contractor's State License Board and excellent yelp reviews. They were empathetic about our experience going solar and offered us a price that beat other top-tier installers. My sister and brother-in-law who were also looking to go solar and found Earth Electric after doing their own independent research. So we both put our faith in them, and we are so glad we did. Everyone we worked with was helpful as we navigated a few tricky situations (closing our original NEM application and opening a new NEM application since our first installer left things a bit messy, and figuring out how to safely install solar with an old main panel when PG&E couldn't individually shut off power to our house and wouldn't shut it off at the transformer). In the end, everything worked out great. We got solar safely running and are seeing our electric bill shrink. PG&E was annoying to work with, but Earth Electric kept our job on track and eased our concerns along the way. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to go solar. Quit price shopping on energysage with the solar scammers and get the job done right the first time, on time and in budget by choosing a quality installer like Earth Electric. read more

We talked to several solar contractors before contacting Earth Electric. We were at once impressed with Sheryl's responsiveness and her thorough explanations of the different considerations and steps in installing solar panels. She listened to our concerns and took the necessary time to make sure we fully understood her responses. Our interactions with every person from Earth Electric had the same quality throughout the project. Everyone was friendly, highly professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. They made sure our concerns were addressed every step along the way. Once the system was up and running, an adjustment had to be made shortly after the installation. We received a quick email response and the next morning the adjustment was made. We are delighted with the system and feel confident that if we encounter any problems, Earth Electric will provide exceptional service. read more

Earth Electric - Solar Installation Near Me

Shopping for solar isn't a cheap and easy decision. I was referred to Earth Electric from my friend who got solar for his home from them. Also, through my own research, I found them to have a good amount of installs under their arm, along with current and future projects. They weren't the largest company, at the same time not the smallest, which actually makes me feel more comfortable. (My dad went with Tesla for his home, which I managed the whole project for him, and I was not happy with their service and install, therefore led me not to choose them for my home). Sheryl from Earth Electric was very knowledgeable, quickly and patiently offered me several revisions of quotes, and was not pushy at all. She even sent someone out to inspect and survey my home and roof very thoroughly to get an accurate estimate. (Tesla doesn't even send someone out, someone remotely guesstimates based on a google map photo of the roof). In the end, the price was extremely competitive and I moved forward with Earth Electric. Come to the install, Zach, Jake, and the crew were very courteous, professional, and experienced. Based on a not so simple roof installing 44 panels, they did a nice, clean job without any hiccups. They kept me in the loop day in and day out. (Tesla would just show up, not let us know any updates, sometimes not show up and come on another day, then not show up for a week without anything... I had to call my Tesla "project manager" which did not know anything or even respond to my emails, and told me to call the scheduling department myself because he isn't able to?! On hold for 30 minutes to over an hour with multiple phone calls to contact them. Then they had to send another team to finish the job with more days and some no shows in between. I could rant on more about my dad's Tesla install and delays) but none of these issues at all with the Earth Electric crew. My home was finished almost two months after AFTER my dad's, but I'm getting my application to PG&E submitted before he does (Tesla says they are so busy they can't even submit an application, even though they completed the city's inspection months before). Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with Earth Electric, and highly recommend them. read more

Earth Electric - 44 Panel / 14.96 kW system - Solar Installation Near Me

Can't say enough good things about Earth Electric. We got quotes from around 7 different solar companies. Not only was Earth Electric the best price, but they taught me things I didn't learn from the other companies, and they really worked hard to figure out my system doing a much more in depth initial walk through compared to the other companies. They are a local business, giving a great price, every step of the way went great. I replaced my roof as part of the solar and they worked closely with the roofing company to figure out all the scheduling without needing me to do anything. They finished extremely quickly, everything came out as planned, no hiccups. System has been performing great(aside from clouds which are our new enemy in life), and most importantly, so far no leaks! read more

Earth Electric installed my 12kW solar system in San Jose late last year; I have been extremely pleased with their responsiveness, pre-install prep, the quality of their work and professionalism, and post-install follow-up. They were transparent and extremely fast in applying for PG&E permission to operate, permits, and solar panel warranty paperwork. Sheryl and her crew did exactly what they said they were going to do, and they did it with utmost efficiency, communication, competence, and customer service. I had spoken to and received quotes from multiple companies; Earth Electric was not the cheapest, but they deliver solid value and quality in return. I would have no problems whatsoever in recommending Earth Electric to friends and family. I fully support this A+++ business. read more
